Default P'ing (urine) in the garden

Would there be any advantage, or disadvantage to collecting our urine
and using it in the garden? Even if it keeps the cats away will be
good.

I think I draw the line at solids though lol

Supposed to be useful as a compost accelerator although I stopped using
this method when the bin began to stink like a public toilet so I don't
know how effective it will be after only one moth of passing water on it.

I feel sorry for the moth, personally! :~)

Lloyd, you may certainly irrigate your compost heap. It is, as Bob says, a
useful accelerator. However, if it starts to smell as strong as Bob's heap,
it will probably make an excellent accelerant instead! Joking aside, you
could always dilute with plain water or build more heaps to spread the load,
so to speak.

I wouldn't want to 'water' plants that way, especially nettles ... legend
has it they make you pee more!
